Bryant's Preferred coastal heat pump with enhanced corrosion protection for year-round comfort near water. Perfect for Oregon coast and Columbia River communities.
How the Bryant 248TAN-C Protects Coastal Homes
Coastal Corrosion Protection
Homes near the Oregon coast or Columbia River face salt air and moisture that corrode standard heat pumps. The 248TAN-C features enhanced corrosion-resistant coatings on coils, cabinet, and components.
Extended equipment life in marine environments - critical for year-round heat pump operation.
Two-Stage Year-Round Comfort
The 248TAN-C provides both heating and cooling with two-stage operation. Runs efficiently in low stage during mild coastal weather, ramping up only when needed.
Better efficiency and comfort than single-stage systems while protecting against coastal conditions.
InteliSense™ Remote Monitoring
Cloud-based diagnostics allow your contractor to monitor system health remotely - especially valuable for coastal homes where salt air can cause issues that need early detection.
Proactive monitoring catches corrosion-related problems before they become costly repairs.
Hybrid Heat® Compatible
The coastal variant can be paired with a gas furnace for dual-fuel operation, providing backup heating on the coldest days while the heat pump handles mild weather efficiently.
Maximum efficiency and reliability in challenging coastal environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the 248TAN-C different from the standard 248TAN?
The 248TAN-C Coastal variant features enhanced corrosion-resistant coatings on condenser coils, cabinet, and all exposed components. It's specifically designed for homes near the ocean or in high-humidity environments where salt air accelerates equipment degradation. The standard model is ideal for inland locations.
Can the 248TAN-C be used for heating and cooling?
Yes! As a heat pump, the 248TAN-C provides both heating and cooling from a single outdoor unit. It's especially efficient in Portland's mild coastal climate where extreme temperatures are rare. The two-stage operation handles both modes efficiently.
What is Hybrid Heat® and is this unit compatible?
Hybrid Heat® is Bryant's dual-fuel system that pairs a heat pump with a gas furnace. The 248TAN-C is fully compatible - the heat pump handles mild weather efficiently while the furnace provides backup on the coldest days. This combination maximizes efficiency year-round.
What rebates are available for heat pump installation?
The ENERGY STAR® certified 248TAN-C qualifies for multiple incentives: up to $2,500 from Energy Trust of Oregon, up to $2,000 federal tax credit (25C), and potential utility rebates. Combined with financing options, these incentives make upgrading more affordable than ever.
What warranty does the coastal model include?
The Bryant 248TAN-C includes a 10-Year Parts Limited Warranty when installed by a Factory Authorized Dealer and registered within 90 days. This covers all functional components including compressor, coils, and electrical parts. Extended labor warranties are also available.
